我们都受困于自己的记忆，过去是一个我们永远无法逃脱的监狱。
"We are all prisoners of our own memories, and the past is a jail from which we can never escape."
人生短暂，但智慧是永恒的。
历史的终结将是一个非常悲伤的时刻。为纯粹抽象目标而奋斗、愿意冒生命危险的斗争，以及激发勇气、想象力、理想主义的全球意识形态斗争，将被经济计算、无休止的技术问题解决、环境关注和复杂消费需求的满足所取代。
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
种树的最佳时间是25年前，第二好的时间是今天。
Architecture is not about building something for the rich or famous. It's about improving the quality of life for everyone.
